Indulging Curiosity: Preliminary Evidence of an Anxiolytic-like Effect of Castor Oil and Ricinoleic Acid. [PDF]
In the process of validating the elevated zero maze, a common test of anxiety-like behavior, in our laboratory, we demonstrated an anxiolytic-like effect of castor oil and its primary component, ricinoleic acid.

The synthesis of nanocarbon-poly(ricinoleic acid) composite as a lubricant additive with improved dispersity and anti-wear properties. [PDF]
Herein, a nanocarbon-poly(ricinoleic acid) composite as a lubricant additive with excellent oil-solubility and dispersity was synthesized using nanocarbon spheres (CNSs) and ricinoleic acid via a “one-pot” approach.

Green chemical production based on thermal cracking of inedible vegetable oil [PDF]
This work evaluated the process for heptaldehyde, undecylenic acid, and methyl undecenoate production from castor oil, methyl ester of castor oil, and ricinoleic acid. Experiments were performed in a continuous pilot-plant scale pyrolysis reactor.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Four New Ricinoleic Acid-Derived 1-O-alkylglycerols. [PDF]
A series of novel substituted 1-O-alkylglycerols (AKGs) containing methoxy (8), gem-difluoro (9), azide (10) and hydroxy (11) group at 12 position in the alkyl chain were synthesized from commercially available ricinoleic acid (12).
